Desearia que hubiera una version en español y que sea para window, y si no es mucho pedir, que sea español latino .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.
x2 espero que hagan una version en español,es que le tengo tanto cariño a Life is strange y que hagan uno de esto me emociona mucho ;-:
Is it possible for an Android version? I don't have a computer
love the game, i feel like kates route couldve been more fleshed out, possibly having her religion clash with her feelings for max. In my opinon the kiss was too sudden it felt sorta rushed tbh, other than that im enjoying the game so far and was relived when the scenery changed when i was on Victoria's route ( i thought it was gonna be the same locations as kates route). very good so far, beautifully written and everyones in character so far
Wish can romance Chloe and Rachel at same time T^T love the gurls
i adore this game soooooo muchh, such a well done game!
chloe amore mio
Absolutely brilliant game. I'd almost call it a masterpiece.
But what were they thinking by using Hawt Dawg Man (weird anthropomorphised hot dog) as the teacher?
(I get the need to replace Jefferson, and I appreciate the Mx. prefix, but they could have actually had a real NB original character...)Yes, it's a LiS in-joke, but this ruins immersion, especially in the final scenes.
Totally agree!
I played this a LOOONG time ago, like maybe in 2017, and I still remember how good it was! I also loved the sprites and used to look at them for hours <3 Thank you so much for your work!!!
I wish I could get it. I have a Chromebook and I've tried opening it a thousand times on both downloads and it still doesn't work. (My problem, not yours lol)
Anyone know any outside sources I can use to get it? :3
your going to have to install a new OS, Windows OS is recommended, the first thing you are going to need to do is get a empty USB drive and go to Rufus.ie and install their windows OS on the USB drive with TPM disabled, install windows OS and go through the setup process.
MY VI MY VI I LOVE VI
Get in line! XD
just finished ;pp I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME AND NEED MORE
this game is cute asf i love rachels route <3
pleaseee make a sequel!! id love to see what you guys would do now that the series has expanded!! or just make a game just for pricefield.. jk lol
A very entertaining game and what I love most is that there are many stories. I am a new fan of the LiS saga and I am very happy that despite the years there is still content of this beautiful story.
I feel like this game was made for me <3. One of my favorite games mixed with one of my favorite genres and a nonbinary teacher!
"I should definitely be feeling some regret or indecision about this poor choice of time management. Just like how I should've felt self control a few seconds ago."
"But Chloe's hand is really warm in mine."
and that pretty much sums me up as a person
yay more LIS content ty
Gosh I adore EVERYTHING about this game! The art style is gorgeous. The character dialogs are SO well written it makes me melt! I could also fulfill my dream of dating Victoria Chase lol! It's just so peak!So so peak!
I wish this game was a liiiiittle longer, but at the same time, keeping it short and sweet allows for some replayability.
I will now headcanon my playthrough. 10/10
omg I love this game its so cute but for some reason when I try to open the journal, it tells me "an exception has occurred" :(
this is happening to me too :( have u figured out how to fix it?
no it just kept doing that :(
How do I open the game? When I try to launch it, it says I can only run it on Windows Media Player Legacy or the word app. What app is needed to run it?
I don't think this game will let you date the pedophiliac murder rapist.
why would you want that ew..
sigh what are we doing
Alguien sabe si esta en español?
I'm on windows having trouble figuring out how to open it!! I click on game but nothing happens 3:

you go on download and click on the first one. then after its download's you click on the 3 dots go to the downloaded file and open file click on extract all download run it through it you'll have to do the rest on your on and done it's pretty easy. *Edit I'm going to try it in a video if I can.*
you need to download run and run it through that
can you explain this better im terrible at understanding these things
same idk how to start playin
Is there a chance you will release it for android? :(
I need it on Android 😫
I NEED WARREN RAUGGHHHH
i love this game already and i just started:>
YES OMG THATS SO REAL
WE NEED WARREN IN THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tf?? no we don't, this is a game for gay girls 👋🏼
Max Caufield herself is literally bisexual
fun fact shes actually bisexual because the developers did not see a lesbian protagonist profitable enough. plus her diary entries about waren were never anything near romantic. while max in double exposure is definitely bisexual, max from the original game was not meant to be.
Yes it is really nice small game. The drawings are really sweet.
A full game with some events, investigations, etc... would be really great in this engine.
pricefield all the way, dude. That was really sweet
played this game for the first time and finished my route with victoria AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH enemies to lovers is my fav trope that was so sweet and cute!!! i was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time THANK YOU SO MUCH
That's very sweet...I melted.
this filled the LiS shaped hole in my heart thank you for your service o7
no yaoi in game deeply disappointed
please stfu
just put the fries in the bag already..
I made an account just so I can comment. Go get a job bro 💔
ohhh my god that is a beautiful game!
Such a beautiful game with immense amounts of sapphic, flirty-filled tension. Brilliant work to the full team! The writing, graphics, replay-ability... just great all around!!
We played a successful Victoria route here if you want to see the choices we made (& ridiculous freak outs over every little potential flirt!)
I loved it, the illustrations are beautiful.
the game was so cute and wholesome, Playing this game after the original feels amazing, like waking up in a cozy bedroom after a weird and upsetting dream. I loved Life is Strange even with all the hard stuff in it. I laughed and giggled with the romance scenes and happy I collected the images. those people that said that they were disappointed this wasn't porno are so funny, as a demisexual I was glad this was just romance since I am more into that. all in all the game was amazing
wtf does this even mean
Right..
who hurt you, haha. It's so funny that you show up here and there to spew such hateful bullshit, while being so cringe
Ofc you’d expected this to be a porn game 🤦♀️
Bro what.
HELP LMFAODJSJAANJDSK
Oh... That's not-
oh...
bend over big boy
I respect your opinion and to me the original game was amazing and if this game is not for you then do not play it. if your looking for porno then look somewhere else and hopefully its not about minors or fetishing and hopefully you separate porno from reality and next time think what to say cause words hurt. imagine if the roles were reverse, a lot are just looking for romance and it obvious from the tags and pics. and please be open minded. and not to mention your words of you saying "If this isn't porn then it's worthless." is disgusting.
crying child
video games aren’t made for you my dog
why do you want to play a porn game of a video game that you think is ass...
You're a whole gooner stfu
Loser
